I need to make my own kind of <a href="http://www.inflowinventory.com" rel="nofollow">inventory system </a>and keep track of the food I have and need, so I can be more efficient when it comes to cooking & food storage :)<br />-Jackie0s0-Pahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958836941549927875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-88162606985344983922012-04-08T07:55:33.091-07:002012-04-08T07:55:33.091-07:00Did I mention a groat? 1 groat is four pennies, h...Did I mention a groat? 1 groat is four pennies, half a groat is 2 pennies. <br />a sovereign is a pound.<br /><br />I partly know all this because my great-great grandmother owned a post office, and researching family I came across a lot of old lists and notes that contained a lot of this stuff. I also found a recipe with costs of the ingredients written by my late grandmother... it is fascinating - but shant bore you any longer.<br /> Yes, your handwriting is beautiful... and I hope you all enjoy your trip to Carmel!Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260980788924722291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-34673693194495950962012-04-08T07:50:20.044-07:002012-04-08T07:50:20.044-07:00"d" is pence...

Then there's a guinea... bit like a pound - I think it's worth about £1.12... although it's not a coin or a note but just a value (we do like to confuddle things over here in England *lol*).<br />Oh, shilling sometimes is written as /- instead of a "d".<br />Then there's farthings, thrupenny bits, bobs (one bob, two bob), florins... and a load of other stuff too *lol*<br />2 farthings = 1 halfpenny<br />2 halfpence = 1 penny (1d)<br />3 pence = 1 thruppence (3d)<br />6 pence = 1 sixpence (a 'tanner') (6d)<br />12 pence = 1 shilling (a bob) (1s)<br />2 shillings = 1 florin ( a 'two bob bit') (2s)<br />2 shillings and 6 pence = 1 half crown (2s 6d)<br />5 shillings = 1 Crown (5s) <br /><br />Ummm... think tat's it - and I apologise for the rambling on... but it might come in useful :)<br /><br />And you're right...

The 'd' in old English money stands for pence. We had £(pounds, s (shillings) and d (pence). It changed in 1970 to decimals but I can still remember learning to add up in old money.Karonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811108114005354443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-45515434541313461482012-04-07T17:13:53.727-07:002012-04-07T17:13:53.727-07:00Old inventories are so interesting - and I was thi...Old inventories are so interesting - and I was thinking I should do one for my Gammage House - but then remembered that someone has to die first before one gets filed in the US - I wonder how that works in other countries?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03489488073955085406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-13419735432995660412012-04-07T14:13:04.354-07:002012-04-07T14:13:04.354-07:00...forgot to add, your handwriting is indeed lovel......forgot to add, your handwriting is indeed lovely :)LaLaLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630213366867237390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-37346338499856252932012-04-07T14:12:06.702-07:002012-04-07T14:12:06.702-07:00This is such a cool post!

I still don't know which key, or combination of keys does it. <br /><br />My theory is... There is a really small gremlin that lives under the keyboard and enjoys messing with what I am typing... I didn't do it!LOLCaseyminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622994881661283282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-62522383689900418672012-04-07T13:48:34.643-07:002012-04-07T13:48:34.643-07:00You know, this is a good idea.

Where we got things, what we made and how, how much money we spent etc....<br />I've often thought of doing this but always got distracted.<br />Hope you and Walter have a wonderful Easter and a great trip to Carmel!Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231703268144400867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-57838012813486910002012-04-07T13:29:32.989-07:002012-04-07T13:29:32.989-07:00My goodness, Casey!

When I first read your blog for today, the only things that were there were the translated copies of the inventory and nothing else. Your written article was missing. So, I had no explanation whatsoever of what you expected and came up with the thought that maybe Tessie had zipped you back in time. Oh, well, it should be good for a laugh! Nothing wrong with that!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216586118985900266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-14482551022941471252012-04-07T12:50:58.458-07:002012-04-07T12:50:58.458-07:00You have such a beautiful handwriting!!!You have such a beautiful handwriting!!!Evelyne Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483031625698626781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470571765534816029.post-6777647090252078202012-04-07T11:12:42.219-07:002012-04-07T11:12:42.219-07:00Casey, it looks to me like Tessie has zipped you b...Casey, it looks to me like Tessie has zipped you back in time!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216586118985900266noreply@blogger.com
